Prison inmate gets 7 years in heroin death of Naperville man

A drug dealer will spend seven more years in prison after being convicted of supplying the heroin that killed a Naperville man nearly four years ago.

Troy W. Dunham, 24, formerly of Bolingbrook, was to be released from prison July 21 after serving time for a 2014 case in which he sold heroin to undercover agents of Will County's Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad, court and prison records showed.

Instead, he will remain incarcerated for selling heroin to Connor E. "Chub" Kelly, 21, of Naperville, which Kelly took and overdosed on in September 2013, according to court records.

Authorities charged Dunham with drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony, last year in connection with Kelly's death. He pleaded guilty May 30 to that charge and was sentenced to seven years in prison by Will County Circuit Court Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes, court records said.

Kelly's online obituary said he was born in Downers Grove and was a student at the College of DuPage at the time of his death. He worked as a technician at Jiffy Lube of Naperville, according to the obituary.
